You said few pages back:"There's nothing wrong with that. I'm closer now to a balance between the two, but I am definitely an introvert, as I need time alone to recharge; dealing with people - especially in person - eventually exhausts me."
This is a great example, how your own brain needs much more adjustment... Introversion is just a label to the deeper processes that are going on, not a hardwired in your brain. Extraversion is the norm, but if you grow up surrounded by negative people... You just learn to close up. Underneath is the same old friend... Fear... Communicating with other people is associated with negative, and it is exhausting, cause running on fear just needs more energy. People have a fear of expressing certain emotions and so they are carrying around that big bag of stuff, that otherwise wouldn't be there... My humble suggestion would be to use your own work to deal with it.
But Im sure your subc comes up with all the great excuses not to... Haha :p... Cause that quote just sounds like a nice little rationalization to avoid seeing things as they are, to begin with.
